Do They Really Think and Plan the Move.......?
The "Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan" has been on for over two years now. Since a few months we in South Delhi notice a van with loudspeakers moving on our roads, blaring around a message while the van moves at a speed of not less than 20 kmh (= 330 per minute).
The message for the public is to separate house garbage in to three different categories and dump them in different coloured bins.
The message is clear, but the mode of transmitting it to the public is not.
My guesswork tells me that the message is at least two minute long. But within these two minutes the van, at a speed of 20 kmh, has moved more than half a km away and people there hear perhaps only the last sentence of the announcement (the same happens with announcements during elections ).
Now, how can the public listen to and register the full message ?
Would it not be a better alternative to stop the van every 150 m, announce the message and then move another 150 m and repeat the announcement? This way, at least the public will be able to listen to the entire announcement without interruption.
And if the people do actually ready themselves to go out and look for three different coloured garbage bins, and find these yet not available in the market, how do you think would be the reaction ?
Sorry for asking, folks, but anything is possible in our country. We've experienced foolproof rules on paper without infrastructure for their implementation !!
